UTE MR imaging of cadaveric patellar cartilage and bi-component analysis. The following parameters were used: TR = 500 ms, FOV = 10 cm, slice thickness = 2 mm, reconstruction matrix = 512 × 512, 17 TEs ranging from 8 μs to 20 ms (every other TE shown in A to H). (I) A bi-component analysis of the patellar cartilage yielded short and long T2* values as well as their fractions.
